=========================================
.. module:: tty
:platform: Unix
:synopsis: Utility functions that perform common terminal control operations.

The :mod:`tty` module defines functions for putting the tty into cbreak and raw
modes.
Because it requires the :mod:`termios` module, it will work only on Unix.
The :mod:`tty` module defines the following functions:
.. function:: setraw(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)
Change the mode of the file descriptor *fd* to raw. If *when* is omitted, it
defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
:func:`termios.tcsetattr`.
.. function:: setcbreak(fd, when=termios.TCSAFLUSH)
Change the mode of file descriptor *fd* to cbreak. If *when* is omitted, it
defaults to :const:`termios.TCSAFLUSH`, and is passed to
:func:`termios.tcsetattr`.
